Discover how Collaborative Explorers can thrive in the New Era with the Connection Circle—a practical tool to avoid burnout, foster genuine community, and unleash personal and collective potential. Tune in for actionable guidance to empower your soul’s journey!

What is the Collaborative Explorer’s Superpower in This New Era?

A Collaborative Explorer’s strength lies in naturally bringing people together and sparking meaningful conversations. However, with so many seeking your unique talents, it’s essential to anchor your energy and set healthy limits. Building your own "Connection Circle" helps you nurture your spirit, so you can continue creating powerful collaborations while taking care of yourself.

Key Topics Covered

The New Era Tool: The Connection Circle

  • What is it?
  • The Connection Circle is a sacred, intentional group where you gather 2-3 trusted peers—not for work or payment, but for genuine support, insight, and connection.
  • Why does it matter?
  • It centers your energy, provides honest reflection, and helps replenish what you so readily give to others in collaboration.

Selecting Your Inner Circle

  • How to choose the right allies:
  • Seek out people who reflect your highest aspirations, share your values, and genuinely inspire you. Remember, your circle should energize—not drain—you.

Setting Clear Intentions

  • Make your Connection Circle a safe space for sharing, growth, and co-creation. Establish clear intentions around openness, support, and rejuvenation.

Sustaining Your Energy

  • Instead of always leading, allow yourself to receive. Reconnect regularly and let the natural community you build become your anchor.

2. What makes the Connection Circle different from traditional networking or support groups?

[2:10] Kim suggests gathering every six to eight weeks, allowing time for reflection and ensuring each meeting truly replenishes you rather than feeling like another commitment.
